"Home and Away" recap

On Monday, fans of “Home and Away” saw how Ash and Kat could not keep their hands off each other, especially after seeing that Phoebe is okay with it. However, Phoebe was not having much luck with Dom. After Dom reprimanded Bella for deleting photos of the charity event, the young girl ran away. Amid his panic, Dom snapped at Phoebe, saying she should stay out of it. Later, Bella turned up at Phoebe’s place, and apologised to Phoebe for deleting the photos and for being mean. Phoebe assured her that she’s not out to take her mum’s place. Phoebe then called Dom to tell him the good news. When he arrived, Bella said she’s fine with Dom and Phoebe to see each other.

Elsewhere, Olivia revealed to Hunter her reason for cutting. “Ever since the abortion, I can’t seem to control myself,” she said. She also admitted that she hasn’t been seeing her counselor because she thinks it doesn’t help her situation. She insisted that she can handle it herself, and promised him she’s fine. However, it seemed she’s not as she again cut herself at home. Chris arrived and heard her crying. Olivia showed him the knife, saying that’s the only thing that makes her feel better. Chris hugged her and vowed to help her seek professional help. Hunter wasn’t okay with it first, as he wanted to be the one to help Olivia, but she said she just wants to make things normal for the two of them. Away from the others, Chris was seen crying as he looked at a photo of him with Hannah.

Meanwhile, Ricky talked to Phoebe about what she’s going through. “I think that all we’ve done since we got married is fight about anything and everything,” Ricky said. Their discussion turned to the fact that Ricky could not give Nate a child. She then received a message from Nate, who wanted to meet up to look at the house. When Ricky arrived to meet him, Nate apologised and said that he wanted to be on board the house-hunting. The two made up and began to look at the house. However, things got awkward when the agent kept on going about starting a family and became even more uncomfortable when Tori walked in. It appeared that she was also planning to look at that same house. Ricky claimed that the house may be too big for them, and she and Nate left.

At home, Ricky opened up to Nate about her feelings. “All I could think about is everything being taken away from me… from us,” she said. “You wanted to have children and you’re stuck with me.” Nate replied that he’s the luckiest man to be stuck with her. “You say that now but sooner or later you’re going to resent me for it,” Ricky insisted. Nate reassured her that he got the family he wants. The two kiss and made love. While things seemed to be okay with the newlyweds, it all came crumbling down again when Nate went out to get dessert and saw Ricky’s text message to Phoebe. It read: “All sorted with Nate. Don’t tell him what I said.” Nate demanded Phoebe to confess what Ricky meant.
